Many many many months ago my best friend told me she had these 'vampire' books that she wanted me to read. The way that she described them made them sound naff. Indeed when anyone describes them they sound naff. Naturally I resisted the constant urging to read them, thinking yeah yeah I'll get around to them eventually. Eventually I did get around to reading them - and about two chapters into the first book (it is a series of four books in total) I was hooked. I couldn't believe that I had waited this long to read them. I cannot describe these books with any justice, many the below can help: "In Twilight, Bella Swan’s move to Forks could have been the most boring move she ever made. But when she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella" It is a classic love story of star-crossed lovers with a horrible twist. Captivating stuff. I decided to write this blog because the movie of the first book - Twilight; is due for release in Australia on December 11 and I wanted to share with you my excitement about the movie. It is going to be fantastic. While it will inevitably not be the same as the book - because movies never are: I am sure that it will still be a wonderful interpretation of the novel. There have been endless arguments about this between my circle of friends; however I firmly believe that while there is no pleasing everyone this movie will deliver the story in such a way that you will fall in love with the characters all over again. I am not so ignorant however to believe that with a book that is so well loved by many; the movie will not be a disappointment to some of the die-hard fans. So as you can probably tell my excitement -o- meter is in overdrive! Check out the final Summit movie trailer
